TOP PUPPY - This will be shared between Peter Lambert with Sturtmoor Destiny's Day (Lotto) and Paul Glaholm with Sturtmoor's Dream Maker at Gazenorth (Louisa) - brother and sister with 3 Best Puppy in Breed's each (at Ch shows where CC's were on offer).

What a year for Sturtmoor! So proud of all our babies, and especially Peter who has only been showing a year, trained his puppy by himself and finished as Joint Top Puppy! What a star you are Peter! Love you to bits!!

Lotto - Sturtmoor Destiny's Day won another puppy class and also was awarded Best Puppy in Breed!

It has been a long road with Foxy to get her to this achievement, between trips to back and forth to Norway, puppies, lack of coat and seasons, she has been shown very little, but has held her own. Yesterday was the best day yet!

To date, Foxy has won 1 CC, 1 RCC. And at shows without CC's she has 3 Best of Sex's (2 with Best of Breed) and 10 Reserve Best of Sex awards! Not too shabby for a little girl who hasn't been in the ring that much!

Lotto's win takes him to the current equal Top Puppy position along with his sister Louisa (Sturtmoor's Dream Maker at Gazenorth who is owned by Paul Glaholm).

The year so far has been a good one! The babies are enjoying themselves in the ring with Lotto winning Best Puppy in Breed at two Championship Shows (out of 2) and also being short-listed in the Puppy Group at Bath Championship Show.

His sister, Louisa (owned by Paul Glaholm) won Best Puppy in Breed under Norwegian Judge Espen Engh while her dad (King) won the Reserve Dog CC under this renowned Norwegian judge who knows our breed extremely well.

The Bu club show saw a fantastic day for Sturtmoor with us winning Best Puppy Dog (with Leo), Reserve Best Bitch (with Foxy) and Best Dog and Reserve Best in Show with King. We also won the Breeders class (a first time event for the Sturtmoor Buhunds!).

At the Swansea Open Show on February 8th, King won Best of Breed which gave him the final point needed for his Show Certificate of Merit title (ShCM). He then celebrated in style by going on to win the Group under our judge Tim Ball (Kaitak).

Today at Bath Championships show, King finally got his final point which gives him his Junior Warrant title! Having shown Rare Breeds for many years, it is the first time we have gained a 'JW' on any of our dogs, despite several near misses!!

To top the day off - King then went on to win a Group 4 placement, such a huge achievement for a 17 month old Black Buhund! WAY TO GO KING!!

We are so proud of our baby boy and all his achievements, we can only hope that he will gain is 4th CC to make him up to a Champion (as the previous 3 have all been won as a puppy,he is not yet a champion!).

Thank you to all those that have supported us throughout the year, and good luck to everyone for the coming show season which is due to start very soon!

Pending heath test results, we are planning a litter from King and Foxy (Bernegarden's Reve Enka Imp NOR) in the summer of this year.

This was King's 3rd CC from the Puppy Classes, we think he is the only Buhund in the UK's history to have achieved this! However, he still needs one more CC, taken after he is one year old to make him a UK Champion!

We are so proud of our young black boy - such a dream to own, in EVERY way!!

At the WKC Championship Show on Saturday 18th August 2012, King (Svartkonge av Sturtmoor) excelled himself! Thanks to Judge Mr Mike Vines for awarding King the Dog CC and Best of Breed as well as Best Puppy in Breed. What a little star our King is!! :0)

At the National Working & Pastoral Breeds Championship Show, on 14 July 2012, under Judge Kerry Frost (Frostisen), king yet again won his class, Best Puppy in Breed and the Reserve Champion Certificate (RCC).

My good friend Laura Wilcox was kind enough to take this photograph of him at the show.

This baby boy had a fanastic day at the East of England Championship Show on Sunday 8th July 2012, only his second Championship Show (and fourth show of any kind)...... aged just 7 months and 1 day........ he not only won his puppy class but also won Best Puppy in Breed and the RESERVE CHALLENGE CERTIFICATE!!!

King is now qualified for Crufts for life, as this award (once confirmed by the KC) gives him his Stud Book number!!. We are so proud of our little man, and hope he has a bright future!!

His other notable win was Reserve Best Puppy In Show at the Chepstow Limited Show on 17th June!! We all adore King, and thank May Birkeland for letting him come to live with us here in the UK. He truly is a

We are very proud to announce that King (Svarte Konge av Sturtmoor) will be due to arrive from Norway at the end of March 2012! King is a black Norwegian Buhund (male) and has come to us via May Birkeland in Norway.

Thanks to Britt Marit Halvorsen for looking after King in the interim, and arranging for him to travel to the UK. What would we do without you Britt!

We are looking forward to meeting this young man and hope he can bring some new blood and black lines to the Buhund gene pool in the UK.

We are very proud to annouce that Menna (Int/Bel/DK Ch. Karabas Likande Lamenna Letta at Sturtmoor (IMP NL) Sh.C.M. WW'10 W'08, W'09) is the leader in the UK's Top Dog competition!

The winners of Best of Breed and Best Opposite Sex are awarded points at all Championship shows in the UK that have breed classes. Top Dog is a very coveted award that most breeders will strive to achieve, but few will actually gain.

Menna has had a phenomenal career so far, winning some Top Awards previoiusly never won by an Estrela outside of Portugal!! In this particular competition, Menna was Top Dog in 2007 and 2008 but was them absent from the show ring for the majority of 2009 and 2010 due to maternal duties. Now - back in the ring after her two year absence, she came back with style!!

We are so proud of our baby, and cannot thank Sietske Christan-Luchsinger enough for allowing her to join us!!

We are proud to announce another fantastic Sturtmoor day at the National Working & Pastoral Breeds Championship Show held near Malvern on 16 July 2011.

Our Menna (Int/Bel/DK Ch. Karabas Likande Lamenna Letta at Sturtmoor IMP NL) took her 6th Best of Breed for the year under judge Meg Purnell-Carpenter! She then went on to win BEST RARE BREED IN SHOW under Judge Jack Bispham!!!!

Also her son - STURTMOOR OMARI, at 11.5 months old and at his 3rd ever show, took his 2nd Best Puppy in Breed award and also Reserve Best Dog!! Congratulations to Kathleen Garey for doing such a fantsatic job with Rouge!!
